Maybe, but i think it's too verbose for a man page (which is supposed
to be a short reference only).  The texinfo stuff is currently just
a reformatted man page only either.

If we are going to reorganize the texinfo docs more into something
that would serve as a `user handbook', while keeping the man page as a
short summary, then yes, that could be mentioned there, as well as
many other things.  Perhaps we should start by simply adding a FAQ
there?  Remember all those postings from Brian here where he explained
how to use this or that new command-line option?  Remember that the #1
FAQ is that people don't remember to use -e first? ;-)
